     | 11,926 views

    We often make New Year’s resolutions that just "fine-tune" what we already are, but what if God wants to make us completely different, completely new?

    If you look up the word “resolution” in the dictionary, it says “1. A state or quality of being resolute, 2. Firm determination. 3. A course of action determined or decided on. And 4. Resolving to do something. Now, this is the time of year when many of us will make those famous New Year’s ...read more

    Just as Jesus said that He must be about His Father’s business, so we also have a "business" given to us by our Heavenly Father to carry out.

    “Mind Your Own Business” INTRODUCTION: Read Luke 2:41-49 Jesus is 12 years old, and ALREADY, He is focused on doing God’s “business”. The people just didn’t understand – 2:50. This morning, I want us to explore what it means to be about the Father’s “business”. Has anybody ever told you to ...read more

    Legalism - How It Distorts Our View Of God

    based on 25 ratings
     | 3,462 views

    When there is an undue focus on the "will" of God to the exclusion of the whole "Being" of God we will end up with a distorted perspective of God

    • Doctrines can be defined as those things we cannot do without and still be a Christian • Beliefs are those things that make a Christian a Christian o Salvation is through Christ alone, by faith alone through grace alone o The Bible is the Word of God So our focus should be on the essentials of ...read more

    Have you ever felt so compelled to do something that you didn’t care about the details of the matter? Have you ever wanted a job so bad that you didn’t care what the pay was? Have you ever been so convinced that God wanted you to do something that you did it without weighing the options? Almost ...read more

    Understanding the will of God.

    "Don’t act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do." Ephesians 5:17 NLT Sadly, a lot of Christ followers live their lives without following this biblical advice.

     | 17,607 views

    In Psalm 15, David’s asking God what a real worshipper looks like; do we look like God’s answer?

    One of the old confessions of the church (Westminster) says that man’s chief end is to glorify God and to fully enjoy Him forever. That’s a pretty decent answer to why we’re all here. We were created to worship. It is man’s chief end. Worship is an end, not a means to an end. We worship “because ...read more
